The Royal Woodlands

Overview

File:RoyalWoodlandsIcon.png

The Queen's forests were once part of the Smoldering City, but the Blightstorm reclaimed this land. The Royal Woodlands are rich in roots, moss broccoli, mushrooms, and flax, with a decent amount of dewberries and clay. The ground is fertile and soft, which makes it perfect for farming. The Woodlands are probably the first biome a Viceroy will look to when starting their first settlement.

Strategy

• Royal Woodlands' most prominent feature is its trees. 100% bonus Wood yields make fuel a non-issue.
• Gift of the Woodlands influences decisions around Wood and fuel in several ways:
  • All blueprints that focus on fuel production are significantly less valuable in this biome: Kiln, Press, Druid's Hut.
  • As there is little need for fuel beyond Wood, any Sea Marrow you find can be used for Sacrificing or opening Abandoned Caches.
  • All Cornerstones that boost Wood production are weaker compared to other biomes.
  • Lumber Mill's unparalleled efficiency in Planks production is less noticeable.
• Royal Woodlands trees yield a considerable amount of Resin, which can be sold to a Trader or used for Tea and Crystalized Dew production.
• Royal Woodlands has no ore veins. You will have to source Copper Ore from Clay deposits if you wish to get some metal. Alternatively, you can produce Crystalized Dew in a Forester's Hut or an Alchemist's Hut.
